Why are humans so unbelievably bad at understanding each other?Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) sits down with @HoeMath, the world's manliest and most hilarious sex genius, to figure out why communicating with other humans is apparently so damn difficult.They get into the bizarre ways men and women view potential partners, why we react to conflicting information by protecting our egos instead of pursuing the truth, and why humans would rather have a satisfying narrative than an accurate one. They also dive into the root cause of virtue signaling, how media blurs reality and programs behavior, and why smart people sometimes pretend not to understand what's happening right in front of them.And somehow, @HoeMath illustrates all of this with his completely insane hand-drawn visuals. So if you've ever wondered why people are so irrational, defensive, anxious, horny, or just impossible to talk to… this might finally explain it.https://x.com/ItIsHoeMathhttps://www.youtube.com/@hoe_math/videos https://linktr.ee/hoemathPre-Order UNWANTED – A TALE OF THE OLD WEST AND THE NEW WAVE: https://UnwantedBook.comOrder THE WHITE PILL: http://whitepillbook.com/Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK: https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJOrder THE NEW RIGHT: https://amzn.to/2IFFCCuOrder DEAR READER: https://t.co/vZfTVkK6qf?amp=1https://twitter.com/michaelmalicehttps://instagram.com/michaelmalicehttps://malice.locals.comhttps://youtube.com/michaelmaliceofficialIntro song: "Out of Reach" by Legendary House Cats https://thelegendaryhousecats.bandcamp.com/The newest episode of "YOUR WELCOME" releases on iTunes and YouTube every Wednesday!

Hour 2: The guys are discussing the upcoming press conference with Buster Posey, Zach Manazzi, and Tony V, where they'll be addressing the team's disappointing season. But before that, they're diving into the topic of the Giants' ownership and their commitment to winning. The conversation gets heated as they discuss the team's lack of urgency and the need for a change in leadership. The guys are questioning whether the Giants are truly committed to winning, or if they're just trying to stay relevant. They point out that the team's payroll is 13th in the league, and that they're not spending enough to compete with the likes of the Dodgers and other top teams. They also discuss the team's minor league system, which they believe has the potential to be a game-changer. But with the team's current leadership, it's unclear if they'll be able to capitalize on this talent. Larry Kruger joins the show today, filling in for Marcus Boucher, who's out sick. Kruger brings his signature Midwestern toughness and humor to the conversation, and the guys have a great time discussing everything from the Giants' ownership to the team's prospects. They also take calls from listeners, who share their thoughts on the team's performance and what they want to hear from Buster Posey during the press conference. If you're a Giants fan, you won't want to miss this episode. The guys are passionate and honest about their opinions, and they're not afraid to speak truth to power. Tune in to hear their discussion on the team's future and what they think needs to change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever been in the place where you were told something that sounded so real that you embraced it only to find out that it wasn't true? You were told that something was going to be done and you invested time, energy, and sometimes money into what you were told, only to find out that it was not going to happen. Heartbreaking. Frustrating. Angering. All of these describe the emotions that you felt. How do we avoid those things, especially in this season of confusion and even deception? In this message as Pastor Brown continues in the series This Is Our Focus, we learn how to see where the enemy plants seeds of confusion and how to avoid them and stand on the real foundation

In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED THANKS TO HER OWN BADASSERY, LIVES WITH A BULLET LODGED IN HER SPINE. Oh, and get THIS, Fam - the cops actually think they know who this piece of shit is... BUT HAVEN'T FREAKING ARRESTED HIM YET. Ugh, it's a lot, but we're gonna get through this together.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47  Be It, babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Oh my God, guys, we are slaying through episodes more than 740. So I mean, this is insane. I can't believe we're going to be on 800 before we know it, but anyways, that's not our win. That's not it. All right. So on Fridays, it's real talk. It's real life chat with me. I'm just chatting with myself, and hopefully you're enjoying it. And then I share one of mine and one of yours. And so, okay, remember my technology pissy moments a couple months ago. So I've had something happen in my computer three times that no one can explain, and I can show it to people. And Brad has seen it in real time, and it is the whole thing.Lesley Logan 1:27  But at any rate, my computer would be looking so great, and I would put the charger on. I wouldn't read that there was a charger there, and it'd be the appropriate before anyone tells me something. It's the appropriate type of charger for the computer, and it's plugged in appropriately to an outlet, and that outlet works. And then I've tried other outlets that I know work, and other chargers are the right size and the right currency and whatever, blah blah blah. And so, anyways, I made a Genius appointment. I made a Genius appointment, and I go and I explain to the guy, and the guy is looking at me like I'm a crazy person, and he is checking to make sure that my charging thing is clean and all this stuff. Basically, the long story example of is when your car makes a sound, you take a mechanic, and the sound doesn't work anymore. It's like that. So, of course, there's no way to recreate what happened. And of course, I didn't film myself having the problem that was happening. And next time I will because I felt like a crazy person. And then, of course, they go, "Oh, we'll help you early," only for the guy to go, "Oh, I'm getting off work now, so you have to wait for this other person." And then the other person was just, I think he's. This is really a user error experience. User error. This is not my first MacBook. I know what the fuck I'm doing. I know how chargers work. Do you know who my husband is?Lesley Logan 2:34  So, anyways, while waiting in purgatory for my computer to reboot and whatever I was going to do, I will say that I did treat myself to headphones I didn't need, but I guess my event is I just think that computer technicians, mechanics, everyone should just be trained in. God, that really sucks. I don't see why that's happening. And what I will say is maybe next time, why don't you do these three things? Because it sounds like you actually are doing all the right things, so would you film it next time and then come back because we can see what's going on? Because we can't see it in the technology. There's nothing. The computer's not telling us anything, and it sounds like you're doing everything right. Blow smoke up my ass. That would be great. Just tell me I did everything right, and what to do next time it happens. And then, even though they didn't do that, did I buy something I didn't need? Fuck yeah, I did, and I am really excited about it. I'm really excited about it. In fact, it probably come a win later on.Lesley Logan 3:25  But I bought myself these headphones that they also said you don't need those because you have the AirPod Three Pros, and I was, yeah, but they're not noise canceling enough, and you don't understand. Last year I was, this is how dramatic I do sound dramatic. If waterboarding could be a baby's cry, right? That's what it was for 15 hours on a flight. And my AirPods, now they weren't the Three Pros; they were the two. At any rate, they cut. They did nothing. Zero, nothing. I even put a sweatshirt hoodie over me. I tried everything. 17 hours of flight, 15 hours of nonstop crying. So I bought these things. I didn't need. This is not my win, but they also didn't want to sell me that. People don't know what you're talking about. I put them on while the landscaper was doing his leaf blower outside my office, and I barely heard it. I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm gonna have the best flights to Asia. I have three in Q4, three, and I'm gonna have the best ones, all because my computer did something stupid that they couldn't figure out. So my computer actually, my computer was looking out for me. Maybe I shouldn't yell at it so much. Anyways, okay. Thanks for going that journey with me.Lesley Logan 4:11  My win is my YouTube, my YouTube channel growth. Oh my God, you guys! I don't know if you know this, but my YouTube channel has been a real time, 12-year Be It Till You See It. I didn't ever want to do it. I would get nervous every time I'd film the videos. I would cry during some of the times because you don't even understand. 12 years ago, you couldn't even afford a tripod. My young friends who are listening couldn't even afford a tripod. That was $175 or $125, and even then, it was hard to find the thing would hold the iPhone because you didn't film. Your iPhones. You film with a DSLR. Wow, I didn't even know I would pull those letters out of my mouth. And so we didn't have lights. We didn't have microphones. Oh my God, a microphone so expensive. So, anyways, I used to just yell at the camera. But here we are, 12 years later, and in the last couple months, the channel has been growing so much, and I really have that that win is a collective community effort because I have several people on the team who help me make this magic happen. I met an incredible expert consultant who gave me some really great tips, and I'm so grateful for him. And I'm just grateful for all of you for subscribing to it and being part of it. So it's not the podcast YouTube channel; it's the OPC YouTube channel. Although you can subscribe to the podcast YouTube channel and tell me how you like it. If you like watching the videos, I recognize that I don't look at the camera most of the time on this because I just look around the room because I don't know ADHD is real and it's hard to look at a green dot all day. But at any rate, my online Pilates classes YouTube channel's growth has been so wonderfully organic, beautiful, and it's just nice to see that the work I'm putting out there is something that's helping you and the people are sharing with their friends, and I'm grateful. I'm grateful. I'm grateful. I'm grateful. And if you have yet not subscribed to that, and you want to support this podcast and me, subscribe to my YouTube channel. That's a great way to do it. All right, thank you. That's my win. Lesley Logan 6:16  Okay, your win. Ready? @lakesaintlouisliving I did two Pilates classes at two different studios with two tough instructors, and I didn't die. I love it. That's a great win. That's a great win. Brad just did a Pilates session with me today, and he didn't die because you want to know something. You're not going to die. It's going to be hard. Might be uncomfortable, but you're going to find something new in yourself, and you're not going to die. And then that is practice that you can do hard things. See, Pilates is helping you practice. If you don't die during that, you're not going to die in other things. So there you go. Challenge yourself. I love that.Lesley Logan 6:49  All right, let's get you a mantra and get you on your weekend. I treat myself with kindness and understanding. I treat myself with kindness and understanding. Oh, do you do that? Do you feel a cognitive dissonance? Is that what you have to Be It Till You See It this week? Treat myself with kindness and understanding. Love you so much, Be It, babe.

For the second year in a row the Orioles will be watching playoff baseball from home. The outlook for the franchise has changed drastically in such a short amount of time. How do they get back on track? Matt Weyrich offered his thoughts.

Can uncertainty make you stronger and does Antifragile actually show you how?In this Mere Mortals Book Review, Juan explores Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. There are powerful ideas here, but I finished the book with mixed feelings about its practical application, repetition and relentless personal attacks.I unpack the difference between fragile, robust and antifragile, explore the barbell strategy and question how easily these frameworks translate into everyday life.My biggest takeaway? Via negativa: improving by removing harmful habits and unnecessary complexity. Sometimes progress comes from subtraction.We also explore why a system can benefit from failures that hurt its individual members, my pushback on Taleb's views about technology, and the ethics of becoming stronger at someone else's expense.Glad I read it, but would I recommend reading every page?CHAPTERS00:00 Introducing Antifragile and Taleb01:30 Why I picked it up02:08 Structure, maths and optional chapters03:23 Fragile vs robust vs antifragile04:51 The limits of antifragility06:25 The Hydra, aviation and individual sacrifice08:58 Longevity and Taleb's confrontational style10:45 Where I push back on health and nature12:00 The barbell strategy: can you apply it?13:49 Convexity, concavity and practical usefulness16:06 Via negativa: improvement through subtraction17:04 The Lindy effect, technology and AI18:34 Too long, too repetitive, too many attacks?19:43 The ethics of shifting risk onto others20:51 My verdict: should you read it?21:40 What I'll apply to my own lifeWhat's one thing you could REMOVE from your life to make it better?

The public conversation surrounding Tennessee has already produced several strong narratives. Cam Ward has shown improvement, but the film continues to reveal missed opportunities within Brian Daboll's offense. Is Ward leaving too many completions and explosive plays on the field? Are his struggles primarily about accuracy, processing or trusting the structure of the offense? And how much responsibility belongs to the quarterback compared with the offensive line, receivers and coaching staff? JC Latham has become another major source of frustration for Titans fans. The offensive tackle has been criticized for penalties, inconsistent protection and his involvement in the damaging late sack against Philadelphia. Ryan questions whether Latham's long-term NFL ceiling is actually at tackle—or whether his physical profile and skill set would work better at guard. JT examines whether the criticism matches what the All-22 tape shows or whether Latham has become an easy target for larger problems across the Titans offense. JT and Ryan will work through the strongest Titans narratives from the first two weeks and decide which ones are supported by the film and which ones are fiction. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comBitcoin is both volatile and cyclical. You get periods of extraordinary gains. But then you get periods of extraordinary losses. But …If you can buy during low points in the cycle, that volatility can work in your favour. And the house view is that we are within a month or two of the low point right here and now. It might be that the very low was on July 1st at $58,000. It might be that we need to give that price one more retest this autumn. Either way you want to be sure that by November-December, if you haven't already, you have your long position in place, ready for the next run.There is nothing worse than watching others enjoy a bitcoin bull market while you're on the sidelines.I have made many mistakes over the years, but I do get some things right, and last time around, in August 23, I wrote up Microstrategy, now Strategy (NDX.MSTR) close to the lows, and some readers made twenty times their money. It made me very popular. I am planning a similar coup this time.Today, I want to explain the bitcoin cycle, where I think we are in it and how I would get exposure.If you are one of those people who didn't buy Bitcoin at $500 or $1,000 and have spent the years since telling people how you could have bought it, but missed out, now is your chance to move on from that story.And if you are one of those people who says, “I don't understand it,” and uses that as a reason not to invest, I'm going to address that too.For the avoidance of doubt, I have some history here. In 2014 I wrote what was, as far as I am aware, the first book about bitcoin published by a mainstream publisher. I have been following this thing for a long time. “Read it and glimpse into the future,” said Sir Richard Branson. Though it's not clear he did actually read it. Bitcoin: the Future of Money? by Dominic Frisby is available at all good bookshops.The audiobook, which had particularly good reviews, has now been re-released. UK version here. US version here.I have a target of $200,000 for the next cycle, perhaps 2.5x where we are today. (Bitcoin currently sits around $78,000But I am going to show you a simple way to play this where the returns could be much, much greater than 2.5x.So let's get into it.The four stages of the Bitcoin cycleThe bitcoin cycle goes something like this* Quiet accumulation.* Rampant bull market and blow-off top.* Monster correction.* Frustrating consolidation.Then the process starts again.This cycle is remarkably consistent and quite easy to identify. I think we are currently somewhere between stages 4 and 1, and that is when you want to be getting positioned.The high came at $128,000 a year ago. Bitcoin was on the front cover of every paper. The US was going to adopt a bitcoin standard and fiat money was on its way out. Something like that. It duly crashed. Now it's going to be destroyed by Quantum computing or something. All the talent has left bitcoin for AI. Nobody is talking about it any more. And now, with the Coldcard disaster followed by the Blockstream hack, we have had the requisite failures in major players which mark bear market lows. The great difficulty with bear markets is psychological. It is easy to buy when it is going up. You get sucked in. It is much harder to buy when everyone is telling you it is finished.Another simple, but eerily accurate way of playing the bitcoin cycle is the 500-day rule. Buy 500 days before the halving and sell 500 days after it.A bitcoin halving is when the rewards paid to miners reduces. This happens every four years, and the next one is due around April 2028. We are perhaps 580 days before the next halving.(One thing I have noticed is that when everyone knows about a cycle, they tend to come earlier, hence my alerting you to this one now and not in 80 days time). Again it means you want to be positioned before December.

A Bay Area commute came out on top in a poll that looked at the most frustrating commutes in California. For more on what makes congestion in this area so bad, KCBS Radio News Anchor Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

“We don't want regime change… but the regime has to change.” That line tells you almost everything about how Washington talks itself into bigger wars, and why the US Iran conflict keeps drifting from one stated goal to the next. We sit down with Lt Col Karen Kwiatkowski to sort out what's real, what's posturing, and what the incentives look like behind the curtain as Trump alternates between strike threats and sudden stand downs. We dig into the reported faction fight inside the White House between escalation minded voices and officials trying to slow the spiral, plus the hard constraint nobody can spin away: munitions, interceptors, and readiness. Karen explains why regime change is not a strategy, why “opening the Strait of Hormuz” is often used as a slogan instead of an operational objective, and how a lack of cultural and political understanding of Iran leads to reactive decisions that cost lives and credibility. Then we widen the lens to the regional chessboard. If the US is weakened, overextended, and seen as unreliable, who gains freedom of action? We talk about Israel's incentives, America's intelligence dependence, and the disturbing report that CENTCOM sought “creative and unconventional” ideas to punish Iran, a sign of strategic confusion rather than serious planning. We also unpack the Pentagon leadership and career pipeline that can reward recklessness while punishing accountability. If you care about US foreign policy, Middle East escalation, national security decision making, and what to watch next, this conversation will sharpen your radar.

When the Curse Comes Close Marshall Segal Download Psalm 108,My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all mybeing!2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!3 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.4 For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all theearth!6 That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me!7 God has promised in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Valley of Succoth.8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.9 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”10 Whowill bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?11 Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.12 Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!13 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.A couple months back, our main drain backed up into our laundry room, which is actually strangely normal for our street. A lot of our neighbors deal with tree roots in their drain lines that have to be cleared out once a year. We've done that for years now. But this year was different. In the spring, we noticed the line backing up again, and so we had our guy come out, and he cleared the drain like he had many times before. But just three months later, the laundry room flooded again. Frustrating. So we bring out a different guy. This guy has a camera. And so when he's done, we can see that the drain is actually clear this time. Wonderful. A couple hours later, though, we run the washer and there's more water in the laundry room. We bring the camera guy back, and he confirms the main drain is clear. But we see that the floor drain in the laundry room is badly clogged, and so he clears that one. As he does that, we run the washer again, and realize that the sink drain is also clogged. So, if you're counting, we had not one, not two, but three clogged drains.As I studied Psalm 108 this week (and did a couple loads of laundry), all those clogs came to mind again, because they're a picture of verse 12:“Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!”The salvation of man is like a horrible triple clog, flooding the house over and over and over again. Every time you clear one clog, another one appears. If we trust in man to deliver us, heal us, satisfy us, we're just asking for more dirty water. But our hope is not in man (even men with special cameras). No, our hope is in God and his steadfast love, and that's what Psalm 108 is all about. It's a psalm of David, and David is feeling the pain of the curse again. The world isn't how it should be, and the curse is coming in close again. David's battling enemies at the gate again. He's pleading (again) with God for relief and deliverance, and as he pleads he takes five big steps in the psalm. And those five steps are my sermon this morning.1. We GroanWhen the curse comes close, step 1, we groan. We don't know what situation caused David to write this psalm, but we know he was struggling to see where God was and what he was doing. The psalm opens with loud praise and confidence — “I will sing and make melody with all my being!” — but it doesn't stay there. . . . By the time we get to verses 10–11, he says:“Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?Have you not rejected us, O God?You do not go out, O God, with our armies.”God, we're going out against our enemies and it feels like you've rejected us. It feels like you've tossed us to the wolves and walked away. Where are you?Why aren't you helping us?And before we go any farther, we know this feeling, don't we — persistent conflict somewhere in our family, frustrating dynamics at work that linger over months and months, a friend who keeps disappointing us even after hard conversations, piles and piles of doctor visits (and the problem still won't go away)? God, where are you? God, you promised a peace that surpasses all understanding, but I'm not feeling peace right now. You promised healing, but I'm not experiencing healing. You promised victory over this sin, but I'm not winning yet. No, I'm feeling anxious, attacked, tired, and defeated. This is our home because of sin.We all taste the bitterness of the curse all the time, with all five senses (some of us maybe tasted it this morning, just to get to church). How much of life while we wait here on earth feels a little like we're somewhere between clogs two and three? God, why is there so much water! You know what I have to do today. You know that I'm trying to serve you and honor you and glorify you. Clear these pipes already! I thought you loved me. I thought you knew what I needed before I asked. Why am I still dealing with conflict and temptation, sickness and weakness? That's not the world you promised me when I chose to follow you.David's groaning here, and he's not wrong to groan. This world isn't what it should be — what it will be. And God wants us to feel that. That's the purpose of the curse. He wants us to feel how wicked and destructive sin is. . . . So where are you feeling the crippling consequences of sin? Where do you feel like God has rejected your prayers and pulled back his support? We should groan. David's feelings here are legitimate and important, and it's good for him (good for us) to express them to God, but those feelings also aren't a complete picture. David knows that, and that leads us to the second step.2. We PraiseWhen we experience the curse along our way to glory, we groan. And we're right to groan. But we don't only groan. No, we groan and, second, we praise. Even under the curse and all the consequences of the curse, we praise God. David could praise God even while he felt abandoned by God because he knows reality is so much more than what he feels — more than what he can see from his very limited human perspective. This is where the psalm begins, verses 1–4:“My heart is steadfast, O God!I will sing and make melody with all my being!Awake, O harp and lyre!I will awake the dawn!I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples;I will sing praises to you among the nations.For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.”It feels like God is not loving and not faithful right now, but David knows better than that. He knows that God's steadfast love has not come to an end and that his mercy is still new again this morning — even in disappointment and defeat. His God is not any less God in the valley. He says, “Your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.” I can only see so much down here on earth, God, and it looks pretty dark and bleak where I am, but your steadfast love stands high above all I can see. Your faithfulness reaches as far as I can imagine (and even farther than that). Reality is far bigger than my feelings, like galaxies bigger than my feelings (that's why he's reaching for “heavens” and “clouds” here).I experienced this on a flight with our family recently. It was overcast and rainy when we took off and started climbing, but pretty soon, what happened? We broke through the clouds, and (you've seen this) I saw the sun shining strong and bright, blue sky as far as I could see. It was a whole different world up there. . . . But it wasn't. It was the same world above the clouds as it was below the clouds. We just can't see above the clouds most of the time. If you go high enough, though, it'sall sun. And that's how it is with God's love for you. It may be pretty miserable here beneath the clouds right now, but just above all the clouds you can see, it's all sun. His steadfast love is great above the heavens, his faithfulness reaches to (and through) the clouds. Don't measure his love or faithfulness with your eyes and your trials. The truth is you can't see very much from where you're sitting. David praises what he knows about God even when he can't see his faithful, loving hand. In this case, in this moment of groaning, David reached for praise from another season of his life. He borrowed from two earlier psalms for this new trouble (whatever it was). Nothing in this psalm is new. Verses 1–5 are from Psalm 57, where David praises God after God delivered David from the cave with Saul (this is 1 Samuel 24). Remember that David was hiding in a cave, and Saul was hunting him to kill him. Saul actually went into the cave where David was (terrifying for David), but he didn't know David was in there. In the darkness, David sneaks up and cuts off a piece of Saul's robe and shows it to him later to prove his loyalty. God delivered David that day from great danger — steadfast love above the heavens, faithfulness to the clouds. And now with this new trouble, David reached back for the song he wrote outside that cave. And then the second half of Psalm 108, verses 6–13, are from Psalm 60, where David expresses some distress in battle, but this time, he leads God's people to victory over Edom, wiping out 12,000 soldiers in battle. With God's help, they did valiantly that day. And as David reaches back for old praise in these news trials, he teaches us to do that. Learn these psalms well enough, Cities Church, that you can grab them when the curse comes close to you. And when God answers your prayers, praise him. Write them down. Memorialize them in some way. Write a new song, like we talked about in Psalm 98. And then hold onto those answered prayers for days when the curse comes close again and God hasn't answered yet.3. We AskSo, we groan, feeling the awful weight of sin and all its consequences, and we praise, remembering that God's love and faithfulness are so much bigger than all we feel and fear. David teaches us, third, to ask. We ask God to end the curse and make good on his promises. Notice, David doesn't remember God's promise and stop asking. No, he hears the promise and it emboldens him to ask even harder. God, you promised to deliver us, and so deliver us! God means, for now, to make war on the curse through our asking. One day soon, he'll wipe out the curse — all of his enemies everywhere. But for now, he chooses to defeat the curse a prayer at a time. Here's how David asks in Psalm 108, verses 5–6:“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!Let your glory be over all the earth!That your beloved ones may be delivered,give salvation by your right hand and answer me!”Deliver us, God! Give salvation by your right hand and answer me! That's the first prayer. I have prayers like this in our life, prayers that just won't give. Why won't you answer me, God? . . .One great reason God makes us wait in prayer is because he wants us to keep praying. Why would God make me wait so long? Because he knows some of us would stop praying if we got what we wanted — and it's far more important that we stay on our knees in faith than that we have some temporary relief or comfort in this life. He loves you too much to let you feel like you don't need him. “Deliver me” isn't the only prayer, though, or the highest prayer. No, the highest prayer comes in the verse before, verse 5:“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!”Praying saints like King David can keep praying the same prayers, sometimes for years, because they want something more than they want relief or healing or deliverance. They want God to be glorified! They want his truth and beauty and worth to be seen and enjoyed all over the earth. And they want him to do whatever he needs to do for that to happen. And, Scripture is clear, that might mean we suffer for a little while. It might mean we suffer for the rest of our lives. That's the apostle Paul's thorn, right? Lord, take it away, take it away, take it away — three times he asks — but not my will, but yours be done. And God doesn't take it away — not because he's rejected or abandoned Paul. His steadfast love stands above the heavens, and his faithfulness to the clouds. No, he leaves the thorn for now, because God is more concerned with his glory running out into the world through us, for the eternal good of others, than he is with providing some short-term comfort for us now. He's doing something wonderfully, eternally glorious in all our trials. We just can't see it yet. But we can ask. And God wants us to ask and keep asking, like David does here.4. We TrustWhen we feel the curse, we groan, we praise, we ask, and, fourth, we trust. We hold on hard to what God has promised to do for those who love him. Listen to David cling onto a promise, verses 7–8:God has promised in his holiness: [He doesn't lie!]“With exultation I will divide up Shechemand portion out the Valley of Succoth.Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;Ephraim is my helmet,Judah my scepter.Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim, Judah — these are all places within the promised land, the land that God promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all of Israel after them. Israel's living in the land by now, but it's still under constant attack. And so David is saying, “God, you said! Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim, Judah — those are yours, and you promised to give that land to us. So why does the land feel so fragile? Why do the enemies feel so powerful? Still, he holds onto the promise. You said, and I'm going to trust you.And God didn't promise only the 8,000 square miles of land on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. No, he promised to take every land for his glory. That's what the next verse is about, verse 9. God goes on, “Moab is my washbasin;upon Edom I cast my shoe;over Philistia I shout in triumph.”Now we're outside of Israel. These are Israel's surrounding enemies. And God says, “Oh they belong to me too.” And David believes him. Even when it feels like the Moabites and Philistines have the upper hand and are taking ground, David remembers what God said and he truststhe promise. He keeps looking to God for salvation. He looks to God for salvation, and (next verse) he refuses to look to man. Again, verse 12: “Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!”David knows this temptation all too well. He knows that when the curse is pressing in, and the opposition is intense, and it seems like God has rejected and abandoned him, there will be a terrible pressure to turn and trust in man — to trust in himself and his armies and other armies. If God won't help me, then I'll try something else. Have you felt that temptation? God's way isn't working, and so I'm trying my way.We don't talk this way, of course. We'd never say to each other, “Oh yeah, I'm actually trying out the salvation of man. I'm expecting someone else to save me now.” We don't talk like that, but oh we act like that sometimes. Don't we? We might say God is our Savior, but so much of what we say and do points to a different savior (often to ourselves). We skip time in the word because we're too busy right now. We slip in and out of church because we've got somewhere else to be. We work and work and work and rarely pray. We ask ChatGPT instead.David knew that the salvation of man saves nothing. It accomplishes nothing. It is vain. And he knew he (and we) needed to be reminded that man cannot save. Only God can save.5. We TreadWe do not trust in man — certainly not ourselves — no, we trust in God. And when we trust in him, we will do valiantly. We don't use that word often (at least I don't), but we should. When we feel the curse, we groan, we praise, we ask, we trust, and finally, we tread. Oh we will tread down all the forces of evil and consequences of evil. Verses 12–13:“Oh grant us help against the foe,for vain is the salvation of man!With God we shall do valiantly;it is he who will tread down our foes.”Vain is the salvation of man, but sure is the salvation of God. With God, we shall do valiantly. We shall prevail against all our enemies. For David, that meant Moab and Edom and Philistia. If God is with us, we have nothing to fear and we cannot lose. No matter how bleak it gets, we can take courage and know that we will outlast every enemy of God. Because God himself will tread down our foes. “With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.” And when he treads, he treads with sovereign, unrivaled power. That's what he just said in verse 9:“Moab is my washbasin;upon Edom I cast my shoe;over Philistia I shout in triumph.”Those enemies that seem so massive and powerful to you right now? They're are a bucket for my feet. They're a plastic bin for my sandals. We don't talk about Moab or Edom or Philistia today. They don't seem so big anymore, do they? The Philistines vanished as a people 2,500 years ago. Think about that. Israel fought the Philistines for two or three hundred years. For all that time (the entire history of the United States), these were the terrible giants bearing down on them. Where is God? What if they wipe us out? And then they're completely gone, tossed out like water in a bucket. That's true of every great fear you have today — war, disease, oil prices, artificial intelligence.A.I. is my washbasin. . . . upon cancer I cast my shoe. . . . over Islam I shout in triumph.The giants we most fear are as nothing to him. They're water for him to wash his feet. And I don't know about you, but the giants I battle most aren't out there in the headlines — no, they're in here. Pride. Selfishness. Impatience. Wrath. Envy. Self-pity. And God promises, I'm taking that land too. Whatever temptation looms over you. He says, “We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord,are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18). In other words,Pride is my washbasin. . . . upon envy and bitterness I cast my shoe. . . . over lust I shout in triumph.The salvation of man is vain. You can't beat that sin alone. But with God, you can and shall do valiantly.The King, the Cave, and the ConquestDavid saw God tread down foes by the tens of thousands — Moab, Edom, Philistia, but he didn't see him tread all his foes. And that brings us to the Table.King David knew God would have his full and final victory, but he also knew that God's people needed another King. A King who would take on flesh, sympathizing with us in our groaning — “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” Who would praise the steadfast love and faithfulness of his Father, even in his darkest hour. Who would ask that the bitter cup of the curse be removed from him. Who would trust the Father's word and will — “Not my will, but yours be done.” Who would be betrayed, condemned, crucified, and buried — and through it all, would do valiantly. On the cross, King Jesus tread down his enemies in awesome victory. That King, remember, was also rescued from a cave. And while he has defeated the Enemy already in his death and resurrection, he will return and wash his feet with all his enemies. He'll toss his glorified sandal on anyone who rejects him and stands against him. And on that day, he'll bring us home, where the curse will never come close again.
